The Fruit Machine (Pie Day)
Presented by the Affirming Ministry Committee

This documentary film sheds light on a dark period in Canadian history

The evening will include home-made pie and tea or coffee, discussion, and the screening of the documentary.  All of this will be free and everyone is welcome – this is not just for queers.  Come and learn why we all need to be allies and supporters of non-discriminatory,  welcoming, inclusive, and diversity affirming workplaces and community spaces.

“The Fruit Machine”, the story of Canada’s hateful and shameful attempt to remove queer folk from the military, the RCMP and the federal public service.  This campaign ran from the early 1950’s to the 1990’s when the government was found guilty of discrimination and settled out of court for $145M.
